Chapter 1: In the box

Two silicone mouthpieces - a flat one, flush with the top of the device, and one raised option

One magnetic charging cradle with USB cord

PAX 2 cleaning kit with pipe cleaners

Before using PAX 2 you’ll need to make sure it’s charged.

Connect the cradle and cord provided to your computer or outlet adaptor, then place PAX 2 on the cradle to charge.

Once PAX 2 is on the cradle, watch for the pulsing white petals.

The more petals lit, the more charge PAX 2 has.

PAX 2 is fully charged when all four petals stop pulsing and turn solid.

Now that PAX 2 is charged, you’re ready to get started.

Remove the magnetic oven lid and pack with your loose leaf material.

PAX 2 provides the best vapor when the oven is packed firmly - and at least halfway full. You can pack and fill PAX 2 to the top edge of the oven for a longer session.

If you like, you can use the lid to firmly tamp down the contents of the oven.

Once your oven is nicely packed, replace the lid.

PAX comes fitted with a flat mouthpiece, but also included is a raised option. Try both to find out which you prefer. They’re easy to switch out.

A short press in the center of the mouthpiece will turn your device on. You can also remove the mouthpiece to power on.

PAX 2 heats in as little as 30-60 seconds. The LED petals will pulse purple while heating. Once the LED lights turn green, you’re good to go.

A gentle draw is best to start. Ensure your lips are placed around and not directly in the opening of the mouthpiece. When drawing, PAX 2’s

green lights will pulse faster than usual.

One full oven should last anywhere between 10 and 25 draws, depending on your temperature setting.

PAX 2 users have told us they enjoy increasing the temperature setting during a session. There are four settings available to customize your experience.

To adjust the temperature setting, hold down the mouthpiece button for an extended press while the device is on.

You’ll know you’re in temperature set mode once the LED petals change from green to yellow, then orange and finally, red as you increase the temperature setting. Cycle through the settings by pressing in the center of the mouthpiece.

Exit temperature set mode by holding down on the mouthpiece button for an extended press, or by shaking the device.

Keeping your PAX clean is easy

Remove the mouthpiece and the oven lid.

Dip a pipe cleaner in isopropyl alcohol- either from the bottle or poured into a suitable container- then insert into the vapor pathway to pop out the oven screen.

It’s a great idea to soak both your silicone mouthpiece and oven screen in a cup of isopropyl alcohol - available from most supermarkets. But never submerge the oven lid in alcohol, or water.

‘Floss' the pipe cleaner back & forth through the vapor path to remove any residue or build-up. Clean the inside of the oven and the top of the device using a Q-tip dipped in isopropyl alcohol.

Once you’ve flossed the vapor path, cleaned the oven and the top of the device, soaked the mouthpiece and the oven screen, you’re all done!

Make sure the oven screen and mouthpiece are COMPLETELY dry before replacing.

To insert the oven screen, place one end in the oven - furthest from the vapor pathway. Then lay the screen in the rest of the way and press firmly in the center. It should snap into place and sit slightly bowed in the bottom of the oven.

We recommend cleaning the device every few uses for the best vapor experience with PAX 2.

If you set PAX 2 down for approximately 30 seconds, the oven starts to slowly cool to preserve battery life and save your material.

Once you pick PAX 2 up again, or take a draw, it automatically heats up - back to your selected temperature setting.

If PAX 2 doesn’t sense your lips for 20 seconds the oven temperature will lower by a few degrees to preserve the internal temperatures of your material. This saves your material from heating while you’re not drawing from the device and ensures your next draw is always perfect.

Keep in mind that if PAX 2 doesn’t move or sense your lips for three minutes, it will turn off completely so that your battery life is preserved.

When your device is on, you can check the battery by giving PAX a gentle shake. The petals light up to indicate the battery level.

PAX also comes with some new hidden surprises. Once it’s fired up, try rotating it three times and then… well, that’s for you to discover!

PAX Labs Inc. has sold empty Era pods to Bloom Farms in California and The Clinic in Colorado. Use our Store Locator to find an Era device retailer near you, or contact Bloom Farms and The Clinic to learn more about the variety of pre-filled pods each company has available to purchase locally.

Can I purchase empty pods to fill on my own? Can I refill used pods?

We believe design, precision and quality are important in creating the best vapor experiences. At this time, empty pods are only sold to Bloom Farms in California and The Clinic in Colorado.
PAX Era pods are meant to be disposed of once empty. Attempting to refill Era pods will cause leaking and may cause damage to your device not covered under the 1 Year Ltd Warranty.

How does PAX Era heat the pods?

Unlike other concentrate devices that always apply the same power regardless of the coil temperature, Era is the only portable concentrate vaporizer to feature algorithm-controlled heating. Temperature control is the ideal way to deliver consistent performance and flavor for a wide variety of material.
Era will heat using 8W until the heater reaches your selected target temperature, at that point variable wattage is in play depending on the current temperature of the nichrome heater. Throughout each session, the wattage applied to the heater is automatically adjusted and regulated to ensure just the right power at all times.
All this to say your last puff tastes just as good as the first.

What are the default temperatures settings for PAX Era?

Farenheit: Low: 520, Med-Low: 610, Med-High: 700, High: 790

Celcius: Low: 270ºC, Med-Low: 320, Med-High: 370, High: 420

How much volume does each Era pod hold?

PAX Era pods were designed to hold up to .5 grams. Actual volume may vary by concentrate and location.

How long is a pod meant to last?

The lifetime of a pod is dependent on a few factors including the temperature setting, type and viscosity of concentrate. We estimate the average range of puffs over the lifetime of one pod is between 300-500 puffs.

How is the pod designed?

The Era pod utilizes a single 2mm silica wick, but unlike other cartridges which only use single ended wicks causing them to dry out quickly, both ends of the Era pod wick are submerged, allowing for improved wick saturation and performance across a full range of oil viscosities.
The Pod tank (in contact with the oil) is designed using all food grade plastics. Other Era pod components include gold plated brass, the nichrome heater and cotton batting to absorb condensation.

What do I need to know about charging and the battery?

The Era device features a 240mAh Lithium-ion rechargeable battery. Time to full charge is approximately 45 minutes via the micro USB to USB cable included in your device kit. Devices may require charging out of the box before using for the first time.
Overall battery life is impacted by a variety of factors including temperature setting and length of individual sessions. We estimate the battery life from a full charge to last up to 200 puffs.

Maintenance?

PAX Era requires minimal to no maintenance. We recommended that you keep your device in a protective case to ensure it stays clean and safe. It's fine to leave Era pods inserted in between sessions.

Storing PAX Era device and pods?

If you plan to store your PAX Era for awhile, we recommend removing the pod and ensuring your device is significantly charged. If you're using the PAX app you may want to enable Child Lockout.

Storing PAX Era for an extended amount of time (a month or longer) with a low battery may make it difficult to regain battery functionality when you're ready to use it again. As a consumable component of the device, PAX Era batteries are not covered undered the 1 Year Ltd Warranty.

Replacement Parts?

There are no parts that require periodic replacement.

Does PAX Era come with a warranty?

All PAX Era devices are covered by a 1 Year Limited Warranty. We recommend registering your PAX Era device and purchase date by creating an account here to ensure a quick and easy turn around should you ever need to use the warranty.

Device State: Puffing / Drawing

The white LED indication will be dim during a puff and increase in brightness slightly as you finish your draw.

Device State: Standby

After 10 seconds of inactivity the LEDs dim completely. There are no ON / OFF buttons for PAX Era. Just pick it up and take a puff to wake it up. When not in active use the LEDs will remain dark.

With a firm grip, give your PAX Era a couple shakes to display your device's current battery level on the LEDs. Just like charging, each petal will glow white to indicate 25% increments of charge, e.g. three white LEDs equal approximately 75% battery life left. Battery level can also be viewed on the app.

Device Interaction: Low Battery Indication

When Era needs to be charged, all LEDs blink red 3 times before the device powers down.

In Temp Set Mode each LED indicates a temperature selection by the number and color of petals displayed.
One green LED indicates the Low default temp setting. Two yellow LED's indicate the Med-Low default temp setting. Three orange LED's indicate the Med-High setting. Four red LED's indicate the High default temp setting.
To enter Temp Set Mode, first shake the device then remove the Era pod. Once the pod is removed the LED will start by displaying your current selection then the petals will slowly begin to cycle through the remaing temperature settings. Reinsert the pod when you see your desired setting indicated. Once you've selected your temperature, Era will confirm back by pulsing the selection's matching LED indication.
Pro Tip: It's not necessary to fully remove the pod from the device to enter Temp Set Mode. You may find raising the pod from the device slightly is helpful.

Device Interaction: Session Usage

Depending on how much control over your experience you prefer, there are times you may want to meter your session usage as you become more familiar with PAX Era. An individual session is measured through a series of consecutive petal indications.
To check your current session usage after a draw or two or ten, give PAX Era a double tap with your finger. The LEDs will light up each petal as you progress through your session, cycling first through 4 green LEDs, then blue LEDs followed by red LEDs before returning to green.
Pro Tip: Usage meters may vary from one person to another and from pod to pod. You'll learn how to read the petals as relative measurements for your sessions. Session usage metering will reset to zero 30 minutes after your last puff or if manually reset.

Device Interaction: Session Reset

If you'd like to reset your usage meter during any session, tap the device six consecutive times with your finger.
Era will confirm the reset by displaying a counter-clockwise green swirl indication.

App Feature: Mobile Device Pairing

First, make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device. Open the app and shake the device to pair for the first time. After the first pairing, a tap, a shake or a puff will put the device in pairing mode if the app is open.
The LEDs will display an alternating blue pulse while in pairing mode.
Once paired, the LEDs will confirm with a clockwise blue swirl.

App Feature: Full Temperature Range

When Era is paired with the app you can fine tune your device's temperature setting. Click on the image of your Era in the app to open the Temperature Range selection.
Swiping left or right gives you a Quick Adjust and will decrease or increase the temperature range setting by 10 degree increments.
Swipe up or down to Fine Tune adjust by 1 degree increments.
While adjusting your device's temperature settings, Era's LEDs will blink a corresponding temp color to confirm you selection.

App Feature: LED Brightness

Within the app's Settings screen, you can adjust the LEDs brightness using the slider. As you adjust the slider, the LED will blink to confirm your selection.

App Feature: LED Color Theme

From the app's Settings screen, select from three color themes. Uncheck a color theme to return to Era's default LED indications.
Once a new color theme is selected, Era will blink the color to confirm your setting. Custom color themes only change the LED petals while puffing/drawing from the device.

App Feature: Child Lock

If Child Lockout is enabled, PAX Era will not heat when attempting to puff from the device and will instead show a counter-clockwise red LED animation.

App Feature: Game Modes

Play games on the device's LED display: ""Simon"" ""PAX Man"" and ""Spin the PAX"". Game Modes can be accessed both with and without app connectivity. Game modes can be exited anytime by removing the pod with either the app or the device.
To enter Game Modes without the app: Slowly roll the device horizontally, three times. Once in Game Mode rolling the device again will always advance to the next game.
